Explore Compo, Connecticut, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Compo, Connecticut. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Connecticut or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Compo.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Compo rises from the earth in a series of gentle swells, marked most prominently by the elevation of Compo Hill, which offers a vantage point over the shifting light of the surrounding landscape. It lies 2.8 miles east of Norwalk, CT (from Norwalk, CT: bearing 99°T), and is situated 8.7 miles west-southwest of Bridgeport. The Saugatuck River carves a deliberate path just a mile away, its currents drawing the eye toward the distant sparkle of Smithtown Bay, while the stillness of Mill Pond provides a quiet mirror for the changing seasons. Within the immediate boundaries, the verdant stretches of Jennie Lane serve as a sanctuary for local flora, grounding the land in a persistent, quiet green. Hall Island sits as a solitary punctuation mark in the local geography, its edges defined by the ebb and flow of the tide that whispers of the coastal character defining this stretch of the horizon.
Economic life in Compo has long been tethered to the rhythm of the water and the deliberate pace of those who built their lives upon the bedrock of the region. The legacy of colonial craft remains etched into the architecture that dots the terrain, where stone walls trace the borders of second-growth woods like silent, enduring threads. Compo maintains a composure born of centuries of steady industry, from the early days of river-mouth activity to the modern, quiet focus of a populace that values the intersection of history and private reflection. The atmosphere here is one of deliberate patience, where the cool air at dusk settles over the fields with a weight that suggests a profound, lingering connection to the soil and the sea.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
